The high and mighty in our society are against our existence. Thanks to God Almighty, He is the most high. He shall surprise those who are against us when they start feeling comfortable.

O God in heaven! I pray that your strength be made manifest to defend your people in Southern Kd! In Jesus' name. Amen!

brother what am trying to so is that can doesn't represent the Christian community as they should, the piloters of the organization only speak out when the said issue is directly affecting them. hence, am happy that my beloved Catholic church ain't dabbling With the already compromised organization...just look at how Muslim organization speaks for their own anytime the need arises...unlike can that speaks without being direct.

But I think their response on this issue is superb. We will defend ourselves against those who seek to terrorize us.

thank God say roman catholic church no join for CAN...That's just my take.

In other words what are you trying to say sir?

Press Statement
CAN Replies Council of Imams and Ulamah of Kaduna State

Yesterday CAN National Secretariat was inundated with calls from several well-meaning persons over a Press Conference addressed by the Council of Imams and Ulama of Kaduna State. In the press conference, the Islamic clerics called for the arrest of CAN president, Dr. Samson Ayokunle, the Senator Representing Southern Kaduna, Distinguished Senator Danjuma Laah, the President of Southern Kaduna Peoples Union, SOKAPU, Dr. Solomom Musa, Rev. Zechariah Gado, Hon. Sunday Marshal, Dr. Danfulani, and my humble self, Rev. Dr. Musa Asake.

The Islamic clerics’ anger with us was that we had made comments that stoked the ongoing killings in Southern Kaduna. CAN wishes to state that the demand of these Muslims preachers has again reaffirmed their hypocrisy. To CAN, this is a surprising shameless, unveiled criminal support for evil.

While, the killings of children, women, aged and the most defenseless of Southern Kaduna natives and the destruction of entire communities was at its peak, no one knew that a group called Council of Imams and Ulama existed in Kaduna state.

When Church leaders under the banner of CAN kept praying for Southern Kaduna and other affected areas in the country, visiting traumatized communities and softly calling on government to do the needy, this Council of Imams was silent and invisible. If indeed, this Council of Muslim clerics claim to preach peace, tolerance and respect for human lives, we would expect them to have come out to call the rampaging Muslims herdsmen to order; condole the victims and join in the process of looking for a lasting solution, but mum was their response.

You will recall that on the 16th of August, 2016, a chieftain of Kaduna state Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, the well-known Dr.Haruna Usman, in a well-publicized reaction to the mindless killings by the terrorists, said that the sacking of Ninte, and other villages, in Jema’aLocal Government, was in response to the killing of a Fulani ardo in Ninte. He spoke authoritatively as one in the knowledge of the massacre.

In another Press Conference in Kaduna on the 7th of November, 2016 Jema’a Foundation, Miyetti Allah and Mobgal Fulbe Development Association confirmed that Fulani and Hausa Muslims have been behind the ethnic cleansing and destruction of villages and houses of worship in Southern Kaduna. They claimed they had to do this to entrench their rights to practice Islam, alleging they were being marginalized in Southern Kaduna. Those who addressed the press were Abdullahi Hassan Mohammed, Ahmad M. Yandeh and Abdulhamid Musa.

Again, on the 31st of December, 2016, Dr. Ibrahim Abdullahi, the Assistant National Secretary of Miyetti Allah also echoed the same position that the Fulani were carrying out reprisal killings. But, the most troublesome revelation was that of Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, which has re-affirmed that he knows the killers of Southern Kaduna Christians and has traced some of them to some African Counties and paid them sums of money to stop the pogrom.

In view of these glaring confessions by all these Fulani men, is it not reprehensible, distasteful and vile that the Council of Imams and Ulama Kaduna state did not call for the arrest of these people who are in conspiracy with the murderers? With their position now, it is obvious that these Imams are part of the evil network desperately trying to decimate the Christian population of Southern Kaduna and the taking over of their lands by Islamists herdsmen terrorists.

These are the Muslim clerics that encourage and inspire the jihad carried out by their foot soldiers. These Imams are very sad that we have refused to keep silent as we are speaking up to government and telling the world the devilish plot against the Christian community in Southern Kaduna and other affected areas. While those they inspired through their wicked sermons to kill and conquer new territories for Islam are carrying out their instructions, they are now intimidating the victims with Governor El-Rufai infamous position of “call for self-defense is hate speech.”

The prayers of Christians are being answered for our Lord Jesus Christ is exposing the enemies of His Kingdom one by one. For the records, the words and the way of life of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world in whom all knees shall bow, was never violent.

CAN therefore, thrives under His inspiration and guidance. We can never call on a Christian to kill another human being. But we cannot tell a Christian to unjustly submit himself to murderers, his family wiped, his community taken over with crude violence so that a new community of herdsmen terrorists be established as it is happening now in Southern Kaduna - especially as government is not showing enough commitment to arresting the situation.

CAN therefore, has no apology over what comment it has made on the religious cleansing in Southern Kaduna and other places in the country. It is a clear fact that CAN has the more to lose with the continuance of these madness. Since May last year to date in Sothern Kaduna alone, over 100 Christians have been killed; over 53 communities with their churches have been destroyed and not less than 16 villages have been conquered and are now being occupied by Fulani herdsmen terrorists.

The imams and Ulama are the ones who are benefitting from this orchestrated violence with the new territories conquered for them. They are the ones that don’t want peace. While we will continue to pray for Southern Kaduna and other affected areas and play any role possible for peace, the world must be informed that the killings in Southern Kaduna is still going on with impunity, because the murderers have been given immunity and they feel they are untouchable.

Thank you,

By BARR. AUTA MAISAMARI

Good day friends. We live in a new Nigeria where amazing things happen every day. We cry every day of the rampaging activities of 'unknown' gun men attacking communities and destroying lives and properties. In the recent past, whole villages in Jemaa Local Government Area of Kaduna State were utterly destroyed in a style seen only in horror films. Another attack is now imminent in my village, Goska in Kaninkon Chiefdom in the same Jemaa Local Government Area of Kaduna State. A note was received last night to the effect that the village would be attacked. Make no mistake however of blaming it on unknown gun men. The attackers are not unknown. An incident happened a few weeks ago where a certain young fulani chap was allegedly beaten for allowing his herds to stray into a farm with crops. He came home and told his father and gave the name of the person whom he claimed beat him. The father came to Goska and met the Ward Head and gave the complaint. The Ward Head then invited the young man who was said to have beaten the fulani chap and the fulani chap was asked whether he could identify who among the people that had been assembled beat him but he said none meanwhile the boy whose name he gave to his father and claimed beat him was there. So the Ward Head advised them to go whenever they got the person that actually beat the chap then they could come back. The fulani father was annoyed and insulted the Ward Head accusing him of being a bad Judge and the insults didn't go down well with the young men who returned the insults to the fulani man after he had left the Ward Head's house. A flight ensued and the police arrested five of the boys in Goska and detained for almost a week. All efforts were made to get the Area Commander of the Police in Kafanchan to release the boys but he refused. I called him on phone and beckoned him to please let us go back home and settle the problem since we have been living together for a very long time and this is not the first time misunderstanding like this happen and we resolve same and Forge ahead with life but he kept lamenting and saying that there is likely to be a repeat of the Godogodo episode in Goska. We had to approach the High Court in Kafanchan to get the boys out on bail. This did not go well with the Area Commander and he did not hide his displeasure about that. And now this threat to lives and property. Don't forget that a similar incident happened in neighbouring Bakin Kogi village in the same Kaninkon Chiefdom and the Area Commander recklessly uttered that the Fulani have what it takes to destroy Kaninkon land in a matter of hours. He said this in the presence of people and we have deposed to this in an affidavit at the High Court of Justice of Kaduna State. I think the greatest security challenge in the Kafanchan area is the Area Commander.

I thank God for Wisdom!

Imagine these guyz o...

So a spade shouldn't be called what it is anymore.
The golden rule states that; u're treated the same way you do unto others.
So let my dear hausa brothers know that this insults will stop when people start seeing improvement in governance.

This administration is slowly losing people's trust.
The people are losing hope on the war on corruption.
